No. 22 Kentucky Wildcats guard Reed Sheppard contributed four points, five rebounds and three assists in their 70-59 away win over Auburn on Saturday.
Brailey Dizney, his girlfriend, has been seen supporting him in his matches this season. She was celebrating from the stands at Auburn Arena when Kentucky beat No. 13 Auburn to register its 18th win of the season.
Dizney snapped a picture of the scorecard at the full-time whistle before uploading it to her Instagram story, grabbing the attention of Auburn fans. She also added the emoji of a cat smirking thrice to the picture.
Sheppard and Dizney have been together for more than three years. They reportedly started dating in high school, and their relationship has grown stronger.
Last week, Dizney revealed her pre-Valentine's Day plan on Instagram: go out to shop with Sheppard. It was the couple's third Valentine's Day together.
